So I had intended to post the following giveaway yesterday along with my review of Paula’s Choice Omega+ Complex Moisturizer (here), but Rafflecopter was against me. It posted the winner from the last giveaway and it wouldn’t let anyone enter. Boo! I ended up staying up till the wee hours trying to fix it, but …
I was a big fan of Paula’s Choice Omega+ Complex Serum (reviewed here), so I was very happy to get my hands on Paula’s Choice Omega+ Complex Moisturizer. As I mentioned when I reviewed the serum a couple of years ago, omega fatty acids are not only good for your eyes and your cardiovascular system, …
If I can get rid of this awful headache and dizziness, I’m hoping that Jeff and I will get to Art in Bloom at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts on Saturday night. Art in Bloom is when local garden clubs and others are assigned a work of art – painting, sculpture, photograph, ceramic etc. …
During our weekend in NYC, I insisted on checking out the new neighborhood still in process of being built on the West Side in the 30s, Hudson Yards. Some of Hudson Yards had just opened: the Vessel, an odd looking open structure that you can climb up to see the view of New York and …
Brows have been having more than a moment. They’ve been a thing for at least 4 years or more. In fact, I was rather late to the brow party. Frankly, until the last couple of years or so, I don’t think I ever owned even a brow pencil. Because I have had bangs for a …
As we near the end of April, Mother’s Day on May 12 will be here before you know it. Since I have been a lifelong fan of natural triple-milled French soaps, I wanted to introduce you to a new discovery that would make a lovely Mother’s Day gift or a fabulous hostess gift as we …

Hope you had a nice holiday weekend! It is beginning to look like spring around here. So exciting! My Ipsy Plus box for April came about a week ago or so, and I am just getting around to writing about it. Let’s see what I got this month. Benefit High Brow Eyebrow Highlighter: I can’t …

Today was another busy day. I had to go into Boston which is an all day event. I had a bunch of errands. Tomorrow night is the start of Passover. So, I haven’t had time to write a proper blogpost. I’m sure you’re busy too with the start of Easter and Passover weekend! So instead …
You know that I’m a firming eye cream fanatic. I’ve been working on it for decades. And firming eye creams are my jam. I leapt at the chance to try a new one: Clarins Extra-Firming Yeux. “Yeux” is eyes in French. It’s an interesting word because eye singular is “l’oeil”. Makes you wonder how they …
My birthday is over. I had a wonderful day yesterday, and the sun was shining. Jeff got me a yummy birthday cake that was as light as a feather. We went out for a fabulous dinner. And the weekend trip to NYC was kind of for my birthday, too. On to the next year! At …
Although I’ve been trying lots of new indie and prestige mascaras lately through Ipsy Plus, I hadn’t tried a new drugstore mascara in a couple of years. I had a bunch of discounts and CVS Extrabucks, so I decided to try Maybelline Lash Sensational Full Fan Effect. Almost 5 years ago, my favorite mascara was …

Also if you haven’t entered the giveaway already, the drawing for the Badgley-Mischka Eau de Parfum is coming up soon. Please enter! Lola’s Secret Beauty Blog …
As you know, I am a great fan of bath and body products. I have two artisan-made, natural and organic, indie brands that are particular favorites: Humboldt Soap Company Nature Island Botanicals. Over time, I feel like Daphne from NIB who I’ve known for more than a decade and Arice from HSC who I’ve known …
